WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Head coach Jennifer Averill announced the first of two more additions to the Wake Forest field hockey team for the 2015 season. The Demon Deacons will add Megan Anderson to the defending ACC Field Hockey Championship team.
The addition of Anderson gives the Demon Deacons a total of six newcomers on the 2015 roster. She joins Emily Adamson, Taylor Brennan, Brittany Dickinson, Jule Grashoff and Cat O'Connor who were announced earlier in the year. The Demon Deacons will announce at least one more addition to the team in the coming days.
The recruiting class will join a talented program that went 14-7 last season, winning the program's fourth ACC Championship, their first since 2006, and earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, the 14th appearance in school history.
